Description

Reconfigure the method for clothing in the washing machine
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of system that is used at the automatic washing machine cleaning clothes, relate in particular to a kind of method that clothing in the laundry room of automatic washing machine is re-assigned to the direction of approximate vertical by the direction of approximate horizontal.
Background technology
Automatic washing machine is a kind of household implements commonly used.They generally include: the basket of a porous, this basket hold clothes, coverlet, towel and other fabric; And the bucket of an atresia, this barrel accommodates the cleaning fluid of the mixture that comprises water or water and cleaning agent.Be installed in the bottom of basket one clothing pusher coaxial line and be suitable for carrying out angular oscillation to stir clothes.In a structure, the orientation of basket, clothing pusher and bucket is around a vertical axis.
Usually, vertical axis clothing pusher can be configured to impeller or agitator, it can combine with an auger, and this auger roughly extends to the height of bucket along vertical axis.Impeller typically is the low profile base component, and it has circular periphery, stretches out all blades from this element.Agitator has a base portion usually, and a vertical column stretches out from this base portion.
Common sense be that high water level (deep fill) does not reach near the ratio of the clothing of the fluid motion that yet can produce the motion that can greatly help clothing the top of cleaning basket to water even if clean cycle refers to when the effect with the clothing pusher the combines actual water level in the washing machine.When existing enough fluid dynamic forces directly to cause clothing when motion, think that then clothing just is suspended in the free fluid or is immersed in the fluid.
Equally, low water level (low fill) clean cycle (being also referred to as the shallow water clean cycle) is often referred to when combining with the clothing pusher, can produces inadequate fluid motion and needn't consider the ratio of the clothing of fluid motion direction to water directly to cause clothing motion.In fact, even there is few free fluid, the clothing that is produced motion also can exist.In this process, even actual water level can not think that near the basket top or near the top in laundry load clothes is suspended in or is immersed in the free fluid yet.
Clothing by the washing machine of the complete vertical axis of the high water level clean cycle of submergence in, the reciprocating motion of agitator makes clothes move along the path of spiral or annular, radially inwardly, along vertical axis downwards, radially outward and along the periphery of basket extend upward towards the outer wall of basket, they repeat circulation in basket towards the center of basket in this path.Be commonly called once " upset " along one of this path complete circulation.This motion of vertical axis washing machine and structure and operate in United States Patent (USP) 6,212 have illustrated in 722 and illustrate, and this full patent texts is incorporated into this.
Under the situation of being soaked in the circulation of shallow water, such as clothing but not being submerged, the clothing motion that the reciprocating motion by impeller produces makes clothes move along the direction that the agitator in contrast to high water level rotates, and this is called as " inverse toroidal upset ".This motion is also at United States Patent (USP) 6,212, describes to some extent and illustrates in 722.
In the time of in laundry load being put into the basket with the clothing pusher (such as the impeller of low profile) that does not comprise central shaft or auger, clothes forms the multilayer of the level that is generally usually.In the time of in being placed to basket, each part clothes all can tend to expand into skim.So produce by all clothing interlayers at the center that extends through basket and impeller every load.When impeller swing so that laundry load when annular or inverse toroidal direction are moved, must be passed through multiple level course along the center of basket in impeller or to that part of laundry load of impeller extrapolation.The work that it can be effectively moves along annular or inverse toroidal direction laundry load redirected so that can spend the long time.This will take a big chunk of clean cycle, thereby cause making clothes can not get sufficient cleaning because of reaching the optimization motion.
Wishing has a kind of vertical axis automatic washing machine, can operate this washing machine optimizing the reorientating of clothes, thereby help to clean effectively the required clothes motion of clothes.
Summary of the invention
A kind of automatic washing machine comprises that one cleans basket, and this cleaning basket is formed with and is used for admitting a laundry room of a laundry load and is arranged on the clothing pusher that laundry room back and forth rotates.A kind of method of cleaning the clothing that forms laundry load comprises: with the chosen in advance zone in the one first amount introducing laundry room of cleaning fluid, this amount of cleaning fluid is enough to make a part of part of a laundry load that is arranged in laundry room to be soaked; Rotation clothing pusher is to redirect a laundry load; One second amount of cleaning fluid is introduced in the laundry room, and this amount of cleaning fluid is enough to make a laundry load to be soaked into; And rotation clothing pusher is to clean a laundry load.Before this step can be one comprises swing clothing pusher or rotates the step of cleaning basket with the weight of a drying clothes load of estimation laundry load.
Second amount of cleaning fluid is greater than first amount of cleaning fluid, but less than the cleaning liquid measure that is enough to fully the laundry load submergence.Rotation clothing pusher comprises a reciprocal rotation clothing pusher or an impeller with the step that redirects a laundry load.
The step that a part of part of one laundry load is soaked comprises soaks a part that occupies half that is no more than the laundry room space or be no more than 1/4th the laundry load in laundry room space.The step that a part of part of one laundry load is soaked is included in laundry load and the part of a laundry load is soaked in static static the time or cleaning basket.
The step in the chosen in advance zone in the introducing laundry room of cleaning fluid first amount is comprised from a static cleaning fluid import introducing cleaning fluid.The step that is redirected laundry load comprises reciprocal rotation one clothing pusher.

The specific embodiment
Here the invention of describing and illustrating relates to a kind of vertical axis automatic washing machine, it has a clothing pusher, can operate this pusher with optimize to be contained in the wash cycle process wherein clothes and the inverse toroidal flip-flop movement of other fabric such as coverlet, towel, blanket (following they totally are called " clothing ").Here with reference to the degree of various " soaking " of locating in the time of preliminary election in the wash cycle these clothings are described.These degree comprise: " soaking " or " soaking ", and this moisture that is meant in the clothing to be contained is lower than makes clothing soak into required amount; " soak into ", this moisture that is meant that clothing contains makes clothing can't absorb more liquid again; And " submergence ", this is meant that clothing is immersed in to exceed soaks in the required amount of liquid clothing, and the motion of clothing obtains hydrokinetic very big help.
Process to the following stated is summarized: laundry basket is maintained fixed, and applies fresh cleaning fluid to that part of laundry load that is located immediately at cleaning fluid import below.Be enough to make the clothing that is located immediately at below the fluid inlet to soak but not enough so that after the selected water yield that whole laundry load is soaked in adding, the oscillating motion of beginning clothing pusher.Another part of load is done because the part of load is soaked, so all power between load and the clothing pusher is unequal, and this makes the motion of wet and dried clothing different.This just make dried clothing from approximate horizontal towards towards approximate vertical towards redistribution, clothing is more likely moved upward along the central axis of clothing pusher and basket.
Referring to accompanying drawing, especially Fig. 1, one embodiment of the present of invention are shown as and comprise that an automatic washing machine 60, this washing machine have the vertical axis clothing pusher that form is an impeller 12.Automatic washing machine 60 has many and known washing machine components identical, except for intactly understand the present invention necessary, just such element has not been described in detail here.
Automatic washing machine 60 comprises the fluid-tight bucket 62 that is installed in the housing 64.The cleaning basket 10 of one porous is installed in the bucket 62 with a center, 14 rotations of vertical rotating shaft line around the center 16 that extends through impeller 12.Employing comes the CD-ROM drive motor 66 of operating and driving device 68 to rotate cleaning basket 10 by rotating band 70 and swings impeller 12.Washing machine 60 is connected with water source 80 fluids by valve assembly 82, can operate this valve assembly and come optionally outlet 84 by being positioned at a side of barrels 62 to bucket 62 transporting water.Control panel 90 makes operating personnel can control operation to washing machine 60.
Referring to Fig. 2, clean basket 10 and the impeller 12 common rotations 14 that form the center 16 that extends through impeller 12 again.Impeller 12 is arranged in the base plate top of cleaning basket 10 and by the driving shaft rotation in the hole that extends through the base plate that cleans basket 10.Impeller ended at periphery edge before the sidewall 20 that reaches basket, thereby the part of the diapire 18 of basket is exposed to therebetween.The multi-disc blade 22 of fixed interval is regularly extended and is extended radially inwardly from sidewall 20 from diapire 18 and sidewall 20.
Impeller 12 is provided with a plurality of isolated regularly blades 24, and these blades 16 extend radially outwardly from the center.Though also can adopt other blade construction, blade 24 is shown as oar shape in Fig. 2.Impeller 12 is applicable to around the edge 18 swing rotations of rotation 14 with respect to basket.
Fig. 3 schematically shows and is placed on the laundry load 26 of cleaning in the basket 10, and it is included in the many clothings 28 that impeller 12 and 18 tops, edge are the form that horizontal slice arranges.Like this, clothing 28 layered arrangement or " crosslinked " randomly on the entire depth of laundry load 26 make by the vertical channel of laundry load 26 minimum thus.Demonstration is exaggerated so that this principle to be described better in interval between the clothing 28.
As shown in Figure 4, the clothing 28 in laundry load 26 bottoms have the near-end 30 that leans against on the impeller 12, lean against on the basket edge 18 far-end 32 and between end 30,32 and the core 34 of part against impeller 12, part against basket edge 18.Clothing 28 will be fixed on the appropriate location by the gravity of the clothing above its and the wall 20 of basket, and this gravity is by 40 expressions of load vector.Clothing 28 is shown as and partly engages impeller blade 24, uses along the thick line of its top edge 23 and represents this blade.When impeller 12 rotation (vector 36 is represented with turning clockwise), near-end 30 will be by the angular displacement of blade 24 circular motion.Yet far-end 32 will mainly be remained on the basket edge 18 by the gravity that is stacked in top clothing.
Referring now to Fig. 5,, when blade 24 continued motion, near-end 30 was along with blade 24 motions, a part of stretching out clothing 28 thus.Far-end 32 remains on the basket edge 18 continuing, thereby causes the direction elongation of clothing 28 along pulling force vector 38.
As shown in Figure 6, along with impeller 12 continues rotation, in a certain angular displacement place, blade 24 will be separated from the near-end 30 of clothing 28, and clothing 28 will continue to keep the form of elongation, simultaneously far-end 32 trip edges 18.
At a time, impeller 12 will stop, then rotation in the counterclockwise direction.Referring to Fig. 7, when impeller 12 rotates shown in rotating vector 37 in the counterclockwise direction, blade 24 will rotate to a position of near-end 30 belows and will engage clothing 28 to the zone of core 34 from near-end 30.As shown in Figure 8, the core 34 of clothing 28 will carry out circumferential displacement along with the counterclockwise angular displacement of blade 24 subsequently.This makes core 34 16 translations towards the center of clothing 28.
Impeller 12 continues to be rotated counterclockwise and will make clothing 28 elongations once more, and in a certain angular displacement place, clothing 28 will separate from blade 24.Impeller 12 will stop and beginning another time and turn clockwise after this.Blade 24 will rotate below clothing 28 also towards core 34 and engage with clothing 28 again, and this process will repeat.Process can make clothing 28 little by little move to the center 16 of impeller 12 like this.
Above process is described about single-piece clothing 28.Yet, in fact, have a large amount of clothings in this process around impeller 12 outsides and 18 distributions of basket edge.Like this, many clothings will move towards the center 16 of impeller 12 simultaneously, and because clothing does not have other direction to advance, thereby they will upwards be pushed away along vertical axis 14.Because clothing approximate horizontal ground above impeller 12 distributes with layered arrangement, clothing will be hindered owing to folded clothing thereon will form obstacle along moving upward of vertical axis 14.These clothings can only move upward by the passage between the folded clothing thereon, and these passages optionally are provided with.
Fig. 9 shows and of the present inventionly redirects clothing so that the step of the method that the beginning inverse toroidal flows will be described this method in detail below.In the first step 90, clothing is placed in the cleaning basket 10.In second step 92, introduce cleaning fluid subsequently to soak a part of load.Can be to comprise that swing clothing pusher or rotation clean the step of basket with the weight of estimating the drying clothes load in the laundry load before second step.
Subsequently, impeller 12 swings redirect to vertical direction up to the clothing that will not soak from horizontal direction in the 3rd step 94.In the 4th step 96, add cleaning fluid then and soak into, and in the 5th step, begin clean cycle to soak overall load or to make it.
Referring now to Figure 10,, when cleaning basket 10 was very full, laundry load 26 formed a lot of layers that pass through the center of cleaning basket 10, and the clothing 28 of lower floor is necessary by these clothing layers.Be stacked in top clothing layer with impeller 12 and clothing 28 that basket edge 18 contacts on apply a downward power by 40 expressions of load vector.As previously mentioned, this stack of clothing has stoped clothing 28 the moving upward along the center line that cleans basket 10 by displacement vector 42 representatives.Move upward for the ease of this, before the beginning clean cycle, earlier the part of laundry load 26 is soaked.
Referring now to Figure 11,, clothing 28 is put into clean basket 10 after, will introduce by rinse liquid outlet 84 less than a selected amount of cleaning fluid that makes laundry load 26 soak into required amount and clean baskets 10, clean basket 10 simultaneously and impeller 12 keeps static.Like this, have only the part of laundry load 26 to be soaked.This part can be from half of about laundry load 26 to less than 1/4th of laundry load 26.The clothing that soaks can be positioned at a side of basket.The clothing 46 that soaks is compressed by the gravity of cleaning fluid with the folded clothing that soaks 46 thereon.The clothing 46 that soaks is shown as in Figure 11 along the left side of figure by compression.This has just applied a load on the clothing that soaks 46 at contact impeller 12 and basket edge 18, it is much higher that this duty ratio is in the load that clothing applied of the state of not soaking.Because the clothing 48 that does not soak is lighter than the clothing 46 that soaks, therefore on whole laundry load 26, just produced uneven weight distribution.This is opposite with the load that does not soak at first, under the state that does not soak, does not have tangible load of clothes poor in the laundry load 26.
As shown in figure 12, impeller 12 rotations.Along with impeller 12 rotation, the clothing 46 that soaks is pulled to the folded clothing that soaks 46 belows thereon as previously discussed, and the clothing that soaks that is stacked in the top is pulled down gradually along the wall 20 of basket.Yet because the lower gravity load that the clothing 48 that does not soak applies at its top edge of 24 upper edges of the lower leaflet shown in dashed lines among Figure 13, the clothing 48 that does not soak does not move in the rotary course of impeller 12 effectively.Along with clothing 48 is left in blade 24 rotations, any motion of the clothing 48 that does not soak all is restricted.In addition, the clothing 48 that does not soak relatively gentlier and be not compressed, this makes them tend to " upspring " on blade 24.This provides the momentum that makes progress again on the part that laundry load 26 is not soaked, as represented by " upspringing " vector 52 among Figure 14.
Referring now to Figure 15,, the combination of the compression of motion that clothing 48 parts of not soaking in the motion of the clothing that soaks 46 under the remainder of laundry load 26, the laundry load 26 make progress and the clothing 46 that soaks makes laundry load 26 that the trend of " stirring " be arranged.As shown in Figure 16, along with impeller 12 swing, the clothing 48 that does not soak redirect to approximate vertical towards and the clothing 46 that soaking above scatter.Clothing vertically towards lower floor's clothing at 16 places, center that make impeller 12 along rotation 14 vertically towards clothing between move upward, the clothing of this motion on be stacked in be in horizontal slice arrange towards situation under be not easy to finish.Along with clothing moves upward along rotation 14, radially inwardly 16 motions as previously mentioned of more clothing towards the center.
As shown in Figure 17, whole laundry load 26 is soaked into.This can realize in the following manner: introduce cleaning fluid on laundry load 26, load simultaneously and 10 rotations of cleaning basket; Enough cleaning fluids are introduced laundry load 26 so that whole load is soaked into or submergence, make laundry load 26 keep static simultaneously; The swing of perhaps cleaning fluid being introduced laundry load 26 and being begun impeller 12 is so that clothing 28 motion of the cleaning fluid import side of flowing down, thereby laundry load 26 is soaked into or submergence.Cleaning fluid is introduced whole laundry load 26 to be caused having applied uniform load on impeller 12 and basket edge 18.Can proceed wash cycle then, simultaneously clothing 28 can by the inverse toroidal flipped form effectively shown in the radial displacement vector 50 among Figure 18 towards the center 16 of impeller 12 radially, along axis 14 upwards and the top shown in radial displacement vector 54 along laundry load 26 radially outward move, thereby washing clothes 28 effectively.After a period of time, along with whole laundry load 26 is moved with reverse annular flipped form, clothing will radially leave vertical axis 14 naturally along the top of load 26, open a passage along axis 14 so that the clothing that radially inwardly enters along impeller 12 is upward through laundry load 26.
Though invention has been described in conjunction with some specific embodiment, it should be understood that this is illustrative but not determinate.In the scope of above description and accompanying drawing, might reasonably change and revise and do not exceed spiritual essence of the present invention defined by the claims.
